Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Northern Indiana
339 AM EDT Sat Mar 15 2025

.KEY MESSAGES...

- Ongoing Strong to severe storms into early this morning;
  especially west of I-69. More storms are also possible late
  today into the evening. Damaging wind gusts are the primary
  threat for both periods.

- Unseasonably warm and windy conditions will prevail today ahead of
  a strong cold front.  Gusts up to 55 mph are expected.

- Rain mixed with or changing to snow is likely Sunday. A brief
  light accumulation is possible.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 314 AM EDT Sat Mar 15 2025

Strong to severe storms over IL were moving rapidly east. Overall
timing of 2AM EDT to about 8AM EDT appears reasonable given the
latest radar, sfc obs and high res model trends. SPC has just
included all of our forecast area in a SVR watch until 9 EM EDT.
Marginally severe instability generally up to 1000 J/Kg, but
extremely high wind shear has been supported of wind gusts up to
70 mph. Given the rapidly moving and interacting elements along
with the high level of shear, tornados are also possible. The
situation will repeat itself late this afternoon into early
tonight mainly east of I-69 with the same type of environment
of modest CAPE and high wind shear.

Very cold air will spread over the area behind a strong cold
front tonight. Thermal profiles support rain changing to snow
with some type of a chance for brief accumulations on elevated

surfaces. It's hard to imagine snow accumulating where the high
temperature yesterday was 80 degrees. For now, left light snow
accumulations in the forecast.

A very active pattern is ahead this upcoming week as numerous short
waves, upper level disturbances and upper trof transverse the CONUS.
Some of these systems will be able to briefly tap into colder
air with the chance for snow returning Wednesday night and
Thursday. Highs will be mainly in the 40s Thursday through
Saturday.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SUNDAY/...
Issued at 1144 PM EDT Fri Mar 14 2025

Strong to severe storms over IL were moving rapidly east.
Adjusted time & impacts slightly based on radar, sfc obs and
high res model trends. There should be a fairly small window
with the passage of the showers and storms when gusts greater
than 40 knots are possible. More rain is expected late in the
TAF period as the upper level trof moves east. Low MVFR and
possibly IFR ceilings are expected.
